Imeo in order to enjoy a genesis you have to have someone who knows about genesis to set it up for you and show you what to do to set it up properly. I was exactly the same, I gave up on genesis and Rick (rwechsler) and Dave (dspin) were trying to convince me not to sell it. Eventually I got together with Rick for coffee and he set it up for me and showed me how to tweak the coil so it glows evenly with no hot spots and how to position the air hole over the coil. Genesis has a huge learning curve and is certainly not for the novice
